You should be proud. I'm pretty jealous of your garage too.

Seems I cant keep out of this one, keep wheeling out the garage to put yet another coat of super resin on it , any local trips to friends and family see the Golf left at home and the DTR being used (after I check the weather forecast of course).

All seems well, I need to fit the new throttle cable and fix the stuck trip meter, and need a pair of interior light switches (anyone got any), but overall im delighted!!!

At the ICCCCR I got to meet Richard and Sheila Green who owned DYA from 88-2011, Mrs Green was rather emotional bless her as it was her car and the kids learned to drive in it etc.

Thanks Mick, its the actual interior light switches (turns the courtesy lights on and off) which are on each door post I need, as ones busted and the other needs a tweak to get it to do anything!
